About Us
Following is a list of software created here at Caltech's Cell Center, as well as software commonly used at the Cell Center. Some of the software is currently going final changes before beta release, so are not currently avaibale for download from the Cell Center Wiki.

Software
mdlWiz is a user friendly graphic user interface (GUI) with easy to follow steps for creating an MDL file, which you can then use to generate an MCell simulation.
bioIVView is a visualization tool based on Coin OpenInventor (ivview like), which lets you open, explore, and even render movies of data from MCell (as filtered by dx2file)
dx2file and its GUI counterpart ( dx2file-qt ) is a simple program designed to parse the openDX-like output of mcell, and filter it to one of many output formats, including OpenInventor and VTK (Paraview and VisIt compatible).
Commonly Used Software
mCell:
(A Monte Carlo Simulator of Cellular Microphysiology) MCell is a modeling tool for realistic simulation of cellular signaling in the complex 3-D subcellular microenvironment in and around living cells --what is called cellular microphysiology.
Mussa:
(Multi-Species Sequence Analysis) Mussa is a bioinformatics tool for finding and visualizing regions of conserved DNA by comparing across several species. It has been found that conserved regions are frequently enriched for regions that are functionally important. Thus Mussa is a tool to help discover previously unknown functional DNA elements.
